The two were sitting together in silence as they both seemed to struggle to find words. Eventually Tim spoke to his companion.

"Jason, i uhhh didn't think you would come honsently. But thank you for being here. "

Jason turned and looked at the person sharing the bench with him. "I am kinda surprised I came as well."

Tim took a deep breath before continuing. "I just wanted to clear the air. We were friends for so long and I wanted to apologize and hopefully make amends. "

Jason stayed silent letting his former friend continue. "Oh Christ this is hard. I am dying. Probably not tomorrow or next week or even next year but the doctors give me five years maybe 7 tops. And I wanted to start re connecting to those I knew once upon a time."

"I am sorry to hear that. Tim I know we didn't part on the best of terms but I never wished any harm on you. "

Tim smiled a sad smile "that was never a thought that crossed my mind you were always a better person than me. Anyway I will let you go and stop taking up your time. I am sorry by the way i... Took our dreams and dashed them because I saw only dollar signs. " Tim began to get up before a gentle hand stopped him.

"I would also like to apologize in retrospect you were just trying to take a chance you might never have gotten again. Our band had been floundering for years and you saw a way out and took it. I can not fault you for that. "

"Thanks Jason that is far more than I deserve. I will let you go about your live. I am sure you have better things than to talk to a washed up one hit wonder. " Tim once more began to get up from the park bench and walked a few feet a way before turning back to Jason. " I think that old sports bar we used to go to in college is around here."

"I believe it is. The one with the really really greasy nachos?"

"That's the one. Hey how about for olds times sack we go and have a beer? I think there is a game on. My treat."

Jason smiled as he got up from the bench and headed towards his friend. "I would like that Tim. I would really like that."
